We’ve been making posts about playable Dragons for years.
Something different, but related; i wouldn’t mind an achievement that allows limited dragonform. Perhaps 30 minute cool down. Dragon form allows firebreath AOE, claw and Tail sweep (knock down stun). Also flight if in fly zone.
you are right that bards and tinkers will never be a hero class.
That is because hero classes are not normal classes. Tinker and bard would be new base classes like monks.
Don’t cut classes short just because you are uncreative btw.
In your mind, what differentiates a “base” class from a hero class?
That’s…not what edgy means on the internet.
Sure, it is. Even if used in mockery, it is a tacit admission of the status of the subject.
I don’t see Blizzard adding any more classes to this game. Things like Necromancers (demo warlocks), tinkers (hunters) blademaster (fury warrior) will just be cosmetic changes to existing classes. Probably available through loot boxes.
Mate, it really isn’t.
You say that necromancers offer nothing truly unique as far as class fantasy or gameplay goes.
You’re right about class fantasy, but considering there’s no game design for the necromancer, it seems a little weird to use that against them. I’m sure if Blizzard made them, there would be.
When you think of a hero class I guess what people should think of is something that can only be described as “edgy” such as death knights, demon hunters, and necromancers.
Those that use evil and forbidden magic. To some extent this applies to warlocks but I believe it is different when we look further and see that these hero classes require special training. They are members of dark orders that train them to use said magic.
A base class is something anyone could pick up and are often considered normal. (though in the case of WoW often limited by race due to the culture of said race)
Interesting. I would personally think of a “hero” class as any class with a concept that would make little sense to have start at the base level. Regardless of alignment. Paladins would have been an excellent choice for this. As would Dragonsworn.
Tinkers might be a good candidate for that, as a “low level” Tinker would be better suited for a workshop. Once they’ve reached a pinnacle of technique, they might take to the field themselves.
A Necromancer would make less sense. They’re a garbage tier class, so it would make sense for them to start with nothing.
I’d think Hero classes would begin playing as an already established elite soldier. This is the case for both Death Knights and Demon Hunters.
Tinker might be one if they’re set up in that manner. Otherwise just start them all at the bottom.
I can’t see Necromancer being a Hero class…just a normal one.
dragonsworn would be a hero class. They are a more advanced class that would require special training.
I place necromancers as a hero class because playable necromancers would likely come in a wrath 2.0 expansion as part of the scourge like death knights. They would likely share a revamped starting zone with death knights and at the end of that intro storyline they join the ebon blade with the death knights.
Tinkers are without a doubt a base class. They don’t require special training. It is literally something anyone could pick up and work towards learning.
Metamorphosis warlocks say hello. It could totally happen again, particularly with so much focus on the banshee queen this expansion. It is highly conceivable they will have necromancer based on. the story being told right now.
It’s not gonna happen. There is just not enough demand for it. If they add a class next expansion, it’s going to be Necromancer or maybe Tinkers.
Plus if we’re being real Blizzard gets chased around with the furry stick enough without getting accused of being scalies as well.
There wasn’t much demand for Monks, either.
But they were thematically appropriate.
what about paragon sub classes like a rogue that can be ranged with 2 pistols?
Right now the story has shifted away from dragons. We haven’t seen any major dragons in a while, let alone any Dragonsworn. If we’re going off thematically appropriate classes, like I mentioned Tinker and Necromancer, most likely Necromancer.
Did TBC center around Death Knights?
Did Cataclysm center around Monks?
Did WoD center around Demon Hunters?
The answer to all of the above is plain. But in most of those cases, there were small hints present. Just as we have our hints, now.
Next expansion will tell the tale. But we already killed the biggest baddest dragons around, so I seriously doubt another dragon expansion. I’m expecting some sort of life versus death expansion, if it’s not the long awaited “Bolvar Fordragon is crazy now” expansion. Odds are Dragonsworn aren’t going to happen. It seems like the classes Blizzard tends to add classes based on how much people say it would be awesome. You’re the first person I’ve seen ask for a Dragonsworn class, so I doubt it. It’s not only theme that is important, it’s also demand, which is considerable when making a class. I’ve only heard you talk about Dragonsworn being a class before.
